Samsung's first Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy Gear commercial is very strange

The official release of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is set for tomorrow on AT&T, and the Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch is also set to be released soon. That means it's time for the first official commercial for the new companion products. Samsung's new Note 3/Gear ad carries the "Design Your Life" tag line that we've seen before, but the rest of the commercial is a bit of a carnival dream, and it is very strange. It does well to show off the new features that you'll find in the Galaxy Note 3, but it really doesn't do much to show off the Gear features.

The commercial shows off the Galaxy Note 3's new Blinkfeed-eque My Magazine feature, as well as the new stylus Air Command, the handwriting recognition, and the Note's Multi Window mode. The Gear gets far less screen time, and really doesn't seem all that useful at all as far as the commercial is concerned. The girl takes a short video on the Gear (which could have been done on her Note), and gets a notification (which just opens an app on her Note).

Samsung really isn't doing much to justify the $299 price tag on the Gear in this commercial. Maybe we'll see the Gear shown off better in a future commercial, but from what we've seen there isn't too much more to show other than Dick Tracy-style phone calls.

Aids will be a thing of the past in a few years. If you contracted HIV right now there's an extremely high chance you will live until the vaccine that is being tested right that has no side effects is released to the public, its in stage 2 trials right now.

The only reason i could see it being worth having is if you are in a meeting and you get emails and text all day long and say your wife calls or husband calls because your child is sick or something you can then answer it right away and ignore the rest. Or lets say you are in another room watch tv opposite of your phone for some reason (it happens to me a lot) and you receive a message from someone you dont really care about you can chose to ignore it rather than getting up and checking every time your phone goes off.

this watch is companion for your smartphone so you have an option not to buy it if you don't like it... and maybe you should think out of the box.. not all people carry their smartphone all the time and not all people carry smartphone in their pocket (some of them put in their bag especially ladies or maybe they just leave it in the table).. with this smartwatch, it easy for them to alert on any important calls/message/email... and by the way this is how technologies developed and evolved... sometime we think it's useless but who knows one day it will change our lifestyle and how we communicate... IMHO

Maybe, if you did think inside the box for a change, then you would understand or empathize with our basic and simple concern. Let's say you bought the optional, companion piece and it's main purpose is to alert you of an important phone call when you didn't carry your smart phone.

Okay, Einstein -- since you are so damn smart and we are so damn stupid -- how are you going to return that very important call without your phone if you are in the middle of nowhere? (figuratively speaking)

You should stay inside that closed minded box while the rest of us live in a world outside of it, a world where a voicemail could be converted to text and sent to your smart watch so you won't need your phone to get the message. There's supposed to be at least 70 apps for the watch and more being created, but if all you can see is 1, stay in that box of yours. There's a ton of applications for smart watches but because you don't like Samsung, you can't see them.

Wow, Are on Samsung Attach Week Michael? Okay. What happened to that Michael who will check for the facts before posting a story, the Michael who will write his own article instead of taking stories from other websites?
